Monte-Carlo

Goals of the Monte-Carlo working group

Develop a general framework and numerical implementations of different approaches to jet modification

in a medium, incorporating elastic and radiative energy loss, flavor conversion, quark mass dependence

(heavy quarks) and exact four-momentum conservation. Develop Monte-Carlo simulation codes in the

form of Open Source Codes and Algorithmic Routines (OSCAR) and make them available to the entire

heavy-ion community.

Year 1

Start to develop a Monte Carlo description of jet evolution and propagation in dense medium.

Year 2

Continue to develop a Monte Carlo description of jet evolution and propagation in dense medium,

including jet-.field interaction, rescattering of radiated gluons and the recoil of thermal medium

partons.

Year 3

Complete the development of a Monte Carlo description of jet evolution and propagation in dense

medium with consistent description of both collinear and hard medium-induced gluon emission, in-

cluding both elastic and inelastic processes, flavor conversion, recoil of the thermal medium partons.

Year 4

Develop the Jet and Electromagnetic Tomography (JET) program packages of Monte Carlo simula-

tion of jet propagation and evolution in the form of Open Source Codes and Algorithmic Routines

(OSCAR) for use in phenomenological analyses of experimental data.
